Welcome Sweet Baby Card

Good morning! Today my card is for a sweet friend, Glora, from Glora's Crafts. She and her family welcomed a baby boy a few weeks ago. I knew it was going to be a boy and made this during release week but waited to post this card until they had the baby. I couldn't help but use Emma's, from My Creative Time new release. I LOVE this release!!! Her stamps and dies were just perfect for this card!  So funny that I am posting this today because Glora is filling in for Emma today!

As you can see the clouds, plane and banner are ALL from the My Creative Time June release. I wanted to make my clouds look a little whimsy, so I just placed them randomly. They remind me of Cumulus clouds . I also decided not to make all of my clouds white  ~ so I made some of them off white. For my little plane I knew I wanted to add a propeller so I took a brad and glued it to the front. My little windows I just paper pieced them in white to add a little dimension. I also added some hemp from my plane to the banner! The sentiment is from "All Star Baby" stamp set. I pop dotted the banner too for more dimension. I added this ribbon I saw from my local craft store ~ I knew it would be perfect for this release and card. Simple and easy but CUTE to welcome a baby Beardall!

  7. Okay, don't be mad at me, but how can I NOT comment on our PERFECT card. It is even more amazing in person. And that little brad propeller is absolute genius. I'm going to have to borrow that idea ;). Oh yes and the ribbon is the perfect accent. We are SO lucky to get to look at this every day. We have all of these pretty cards on the door that Chase's welcome banner is on. They make us all feel very loved. THANK YOU for being such a sweet friend.
